Custom Videos with…

(Custom Videos with who?)

Ahhhhh, I’m glad you asked. Here’s the lineup!

Ok, so I won’t quit my day job. I’m a better wrestler than I am a joke writer. Anyways.

Last minute availability for this Sunday only (Jan 12th)

Christian Thorn is in town for a day. He’s super fun to wrestle with. Could be ring/mat/hotel match.

But now, the meat and potatoes of this post

February Talent Roster

Also in the mix, but waiting for photos; Ethan Axel Andrews!

A lot of guys, but very limited availability. So even though we’re a month out, the sooner scripts come in and get squared up. The better.

Locations might be limited. I have looked into some unique locations to film in but would need the facility rental added onto the cost of the match. If not, it’s likely that these could be hotel matches. Some other locations could be a ring, mat area, or even a BDSM Dungeon.

Also, keep in mind that the matches don’t have to involve me. I can just produce them. I do enjoy being in them, and you are here because you’re a Jonny fan. However some scenarios. I just don’t do, and some of these boys do. If you know of their work, and know they do x fight type of stuff feel free to ask. Just keep in mind, it’s usually a one per day type of match so getting those done are even more difficult schedule wise.

As always, read and use the CUSTOM VIDEOS PAGE as the guide when sending your request in, and shoot me an email!

One last attempt at humor,

I’ve forgotten all my boomerang jokes… give me a minute, I’m sure they’ll come back to me.

Yep, sticking to wrestling.

Year of the snake? Nahhhh…. it’s the year of the heel. Of course my opinion is biased but you’re reading the blog of the best one going still. I’m definitely feeling older, but the wheels haven’t fallen off yet. I’m still wrestling circles around people and enjoying doing it. I’m just more sore the next few days. While I can still physically do this at a high level, I’m going to make an effort to produce more matches in 2025. That’s my resolution. I’d like to say, I’ll write more blog posts, but we all know that’s not likely.

The US tour went pretty well. Overall it was a positive experience, there were a few negatives. I won’t dwell on them, but they’re going to be used as learning experiences going forward. It was great to finally put some faces with names that I’ve seen on video orders, or custom match requests for years. Everybody I did meet was super nice, I didn’t have a bad experience meeting anybody at all.  It’s been awhile since I’ve really branched out and wrestled new people, I’ve mostly stuck to the Boston area or places I know and am comfortable with and kept the same circle of regular people. I’ll definitely be doing more tours in 2025, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements.

This tour was pretty ambitious. I knew going into it that it would be challenging. And it was. I was ready for it from a physical standpoint, the wrestling was the easy part for me. Even on days that I did 3-5 matches. It was everything else that started taking a toll on me towards the end of my trip. Between the constant time zone changes, crazy travel schedule, the challenges of eating healthy and regularly, I was thankful to be going back home by the end of it.

In addition to private wrestling, I also met up with some guys to film some matches. One of them is out right now. With the exception of the man under the mask, and Chase LaChance, everybody I filmed with was a first time opponent for me. So I hope you’ll enjoy watching the matches as much as I enjoyed filming them. My biggest regret was not really having a plan heading into the final day of filming. It was my second to last stop and I was pretty close to being mentally checked out after waking up at 5 am to get to the airport and have multiple flight delays before crossing time zones again. The match was this very impromptu 4 person iron man match that we all just kinda naturally came up with the idea of doing on the spot. Even though I think it’s a fine match, it could have been so much more had this been done after a good nights sleep. I do think seeing these guys as they actually are, wrestling how they normally would just for fun and not as scripted does have its appeal. I just wish that I was more on top of my game to help navigate it a little better. I’ll have to go back for rematches to make it up to them.

I didn’t have a lot of downtime to do much in each city, but there were a few highlights. I did take a day out in LA and go check out the Avengers Campus. On a morning out in Pasadena I decided to go hike Mount Wilson. It was spur of the moment, so I wasn’t ready at all. No water bottles, no snacks, not dressed for it, but the views were amazing. Pictures don’t do it justice. Then out in Vegas, Kid Leopard, Kid Vicious and I all went to see the Michael Jackson ONE show, and I saw the Drag Race residency at the Flamingo one other night.

Since being home, I’ve taken some much needed R&R. I had a low key holiday season, I spent the week of New Years down Newport, RI. Even though it’s freezing cold by the ocean in January in New England, it’s still a very charming area. And since it’s the off season, there’s not nearly as many drunken college kids everywhere.

Now that all of that is over, it’s back home and back to the grind. I have a relatively empty first half of January, but then things start picking up. I’ll be in Fort Lauderdale at the end of the month for a small BG East taping. I’m planning on staying an extra few days to film some matches for my site and hopefully film a custom match or two. Maybe on the way down I’ll make a few stops down the coast for private matches if there’s enough interest?

Oh, right. I should’ve led with this, but for those of you who don’t follow me on Instagram, I’ve recently lost a lot of weight! I took a little break from things over the holidays, but I started back on it today. I’m weighing in at 185 lbs. So I’m hoping to be down around 170/175 by the time I get to Florida. Depending how I’m looking and feeling by then, I might switch up my gym routine and focus on packing on some muscle. I haven’t been doing anything crazy, 2-3 gym sessions a week, 20-30 minutes of cardio, 20-30 minute of weight lifting each session. Other than that it’s all been diet. I’ve cut out drinking entirely (well, I drank in Vegas, and had a cocktail here and there while on the road), I don’t eat red meat anymore, I’ve cut out all salt and sugar (as much as humanly possible), it’s lots of veggies, fruits and fish/chicken. Basically, I’m only shopping on the outside isles at the grocery store. So hopefully in another months time you’ll be seeing a leaner, buffer Jonny.

Seattle is a 50/50 toss up right now. If I do not go to seattle, I may move Indianapolis into that timeframe for one day and then add a San Francisco stop in.
I might consolidate some of the Texas stops, particularly rolling Austin into Dallas or Houston and then extending one of those cities for a day.

Rare Custom Match Opportunity With….. KID KARISMA

This is contingent on me being in a certain city. I’ve talked with the one and only, KID KARISMA. He’s willing to dust off the old speedo and take a very limited number of custom matches.

They are likely to be hotel matches unless I can find a ring to rent.

These will be premium priced matches, as I have limited time, and he’s only interested in doing a few matches. So, read the Custom Match Page and shoot me an email to get the ball rolling. This is a very rare opportunity to get one of the most iconic wrestlers in BG East history doing a custom match for you. He’s only done one other custom match taping ever.

I’m going to be making my way around the country in late November through mid December!

That’s right, the entire country. I’m excited because there’s definitely some states I haven’t been to yet. Not that I’m hitting all of them, but California for example, is a place I haven’t been to. So I’m definitely hoping to get a few matches out that way.

I think right no my general idea might be staring in Boston and working my way West and staying on the North half of the country. Then when I hit Cali I’ll head South and make my way down the coast before shooting over to Las Vegas. I’m there for a few days because I’ll be linking up with the BG East crew for a small taping. From there  I’ll head East, definitely stopping in Texas and I’ll make my way back towards home from there.

I’ll be taking as many private matches as I can squeeze into my schedule. So if you’ve ever wanted to wrestle, this could be the only time I’ve ever been in your area. I’m going to see how things shake out with where people are before posting any tentative plans. So read the Private Match Page and shoot me an email. I’ll also be filming custom matches, and matches for my website and Watch Fighters on this trip. So if you have somebody you want me to match up with, or you’re a wrestler shoot me an email and we can link up maybe.

Making this short and sweet. A stud filled taping just fell into my lap for next weekend. I’m still looking to add other wrestlers but for now the main event starts are

Christian Thorn

I’ve never worked with Christian, I’ve met him a few times during some of Cameron’s stuff. I’m excited to have him suddenly become available in my neck of the woods. He’s a great talent.

Braden Charron

You all know who he is. He’s been a superstar since he first stepped foot inside the BG East ring. He’s in competition shape for an upcoming body building show. If you like ripped hunks, don’t pass up a prime Braden.

Jonny Firestorm

There’s this guy as well…. whoever he is 😉

I’m looking to add some more new faces and some of my favorite local wrestling studs. So stay tuned for updates.

I’d be filming next weekend, either Friday or Saturday. November 8th or 9th. Ideally scripts should be in and all the details settled by the 6th. If you’re interested in a match, I’d recommend  getting your script in early. Anytime I’ve worked with Braden in the past my inbox fills up fast.

You know the drill, read this and shoot me an e-mail. Custom Videos

Phew. I seems like this summer has blown by. I’m ready for a vacation, but I don’t think it’s in the cards for me quite yet. I’m a little tired still after a weekend of BG East and custom video tapings. My normal relaxation routine after a shoot has been interrupted this week by some real life things that have requited a lot of attention and energy. So this post probably won’t be well written, or witty. Thankfully the weekend is shaping up to be very low key, so I’ll have a chance to recharge then.

Where to start? Let’s back track a bit. I blew out my knee one match into the 7 I had to do when I was in Detroit back in May. I’m finally just starting to feel close to 100%, or at least as close to 100% that I can be. At the time it was just a moral killer. I had been hitting the gym hard, was starting to notice some weight coming off and then boom. Getting through the rest of that trip was a challenge. On the plus side, it did force me to switch up a few things in matches that I’d perhaps become too reliant on.

A few of you know that a number of us had been dealing with this stalker situation, which had been ongoing for a bout a decade. It really intensified for a period of time, I was getting 300+ calls and texts per day, they were calling my mother & grandmothers houses at all hours of the night. Creating countless fake social media profiles to try to weasel their way into my social circle so they could message anybody that was even remotely associated with me or anybody I knew. Making threats to show up at my, and my family members residences, etc. Thankfully the FBI got involved, the person was arrested, and has been sentenced. I’m glad to finally be able to move on from all of that without questioning every interaction I have with somebody thinking it could be this person using an alias.

The Birthday Bundle sale was a lot of fun. Some of those matches I forgot I had. As I’m getting a little older, I’m appreciating that I can now sit down and watch myself grow up on camera through the years. I was 18 or 19 when Jonny Firestorm first speedo’ed up and stepped into the ring for BG East. I started doing my own custom videos not too long after that. Sometimes seeing certain matches can bring me back to that exact period of my life. It was a lot of fun combing through my collection to find some matches that hadn’t ever seen the light of day. Remembering how fun the old shoots were with certain groups of guys. I’d fly everybody in, most would stay at my house and we’d spend all weekend wrestling and going out at night to have fun. Not that shoots still aren’t fun now, we still socialize and all of that. It’s just not the same as being in your 20’s and making some of those bonds and friendships.

Speaking of bonds and friendships, it was so good to see Austin Cooper again. We’ve always kept in contact though the years, but I haven’t seen Coop in a long time. It sounds like this was him hanging up his hat, but you can never say never in wrestling. Look at how many times the late, great Terry Funk had a retirement match. I’m going to share some screen shots of a few of the custom matches we filmed. It was a pleasure stepping into the ring with him again, and like a fine wine, he’s only gotten better with age.

It’s been a busy summer with travel, private matches, and custom requests. But it hasn’t been all work. Cameron and I got to hang out a few weeks back. Nothing crazy, it was a low key night sitting by a fire, watching matches, and bouncing ideas off one another.

I could ramble on some more about stuff, but I think I’ll save that for an upcoming project I’m going to start working on. Next spring/summer is my 20th anniversary since my first BG East match. I’ve started reaching out to a few people to work on some sort of project, I’m not sure exactly what it’s going to be just yet. I think part of it will definitely be a sit down interview. I’d like for part of it to be a kinda mini documentary where I’m filming what it’s actually like being in my shoes during traveling and for shoots etc. Now that the knee isn’t an issue anymore, hopefully a weight loss journey. I know a lot of you support me, and like my work no matter what I look like. I’m just a little more beefy than I want to be now. I don’t have grand delusions I’m going to be 135 lbs with abs ever again, nor do I want to be. I think my sweet spot is a thick muscled 175 lbs. Any ideas on what else would be cool to see for part of this?

Lastly,

I’m going to be making a brief stop in Chicago next week! I have some availability to do some private matches, as well as some custom match filming. I’ve found a space with a ring I’m renting out to film out of, so hopefully everything goes smoothly. I’ll be with Nathan FX

Also, I’m throwing up the Bat-signal for anybody that has a ring, or knows of rings that rent out to people. Obviously don’t include the BG East locations. I’d bet there’s a few sneaky ones I don’t know about. Just email me at info@jonnyfirestorm.com and include the city/state, if it’s yours or just a place you know along with the contact info and rate.

That’s all for now!

I’m going to have some time to get some custom matches done in mid September, and what a lineup!

Austin Cooper is back! This sounds like it might be the last dance for him, so if you’ve ever wanted an Austin Cooper custom match, the hour glass doesn’t have much left in it.

Speaking of returns, wow! Chase is back, bald and more ripped than ever.

Dashing Dio steps back into the squared circle. With his boyish good looks and immense sex appeal.

Muscle God, Manny Mendez makes his return. Do you want to see his massive muscles destroyed? Or is he going to brutalize some poor jobber?

Speaking of muscle, Monstah Mike is ready to take on all comers. Maybe even all summers 😉

And of course… this guy.

There might be another guy or two added over the next few weeks. But this is the main roster for a mid September taping. It’s unusual to have this much high end talent in one place, so make sure you get any requests in as early as possible to be sure there’s enough time to get them done.

Use the Custom Video page to submit your script based off the guidelines.

I’ll also have some very limited time this weekend (8/31-9/2) to film some custom matches. The lineup for this weekend

There will be one other person around, I’m not quite sure what they look like yet. I can update this when I know. Of course I’m available as well.

As always use the Custom Video page to submit your script based off the guidelines.
